SYMPTOMS
When a PC Card device is removed from and then reinserted into a CardBus
socket, the device may not be enumerated upon reinsertion. The PC Card
icon on the taskbar shows a status of Empty.
CAUSE
The signal on certain CardBus status lines may be unstable for a time when
a device is removed and reinserted. The Windows 95 drivers may read an
incorrect status during this period of signal instability, and not detect
the correct status of the device.
RESOLUTION
The reinserted device can be enumerated by clicking Refresh in Device
Manager.
STATUS
This problem no longer occurs in Windows 98. To resolve this problem, install the current version of Windows. For information about the current version of Windows, visit
